Heylo readers............i will dedicate today's " At a Glance" solely to the one and only thing i can see or hear wherever i turn around................." The Poll results"---chunav parinam ( in hindi) So lemme tell u the results first----after abt 20 decades, the Indian electorate for once hav given a clean and clear majority to a single political party---- The Indian National Congress, so finally we have got rid of the political potpourrie, which has become the bane of our national development and have a stable governmet to look forward to.................. my feelings abt the result are a mixture of relief, happiness and terror.........u might think that's paradoxical.........no allow me to explain------- relief from the fact, that we hav been saved from the results of a terrible political concotion ( of mayawati,jayalalitha, mamta, mulayam,lalu, chandrababu,third front, fourth front n what not, with the common denominator of their own selfish interets and nothin beyond).......Phewww!!!...we have been saved by the Great Indian Electorate. Happiness---i wasn't intially happy when i realized that Congress

had been voted back ( and no i am not a supporter o' the BJP) because it means another 5 years o' dealing with a family driven, person oriented government comprised of pet boys who are predominantly

brainless maverick's (the reason for my terror imagine having Arjun Singh for another 5 yrs as HRD minister...ARGHHHHHHH,lord mecry).......................but as i sat thinking and analysing the results, A question rose in my

mind....Why???.....Why this time the indian electorate instead of doling out a fragmented verdict ( as expected by even the parties themselves, predicted by the exit polls, media and analysts) flumoxed everyone with this

verdict..........'cuz all the parties as usual were talking their usual crap and the electorate see's through it and congress esp. Due it's disastrous policies and choice ofcoalition parterners was more in the dock

than anyone else.....then why???? It was the answer to this question that struck me as joy...........the answer is that finally people in india have started looking beyond religion, caste , region

etc....over the broader picture, that is, of performance against promises ( that are at times unreasonable, unfathomable! and spurious)...............These results are not a victory of Congress (plz also those party

loyalists who are in that euophoria, may come out o' it)......neither it was the magic of youth, or charisma of a person.............This verdict is a victory of a man's integirity, of his uncompromising determination of not letting

any person or any party , for any reason to hold at ransome his integrity , his determination not to compromise his far sightedness for the near term benefits, his unbending professionalism and political ethics-------and that man is none other the highest ranking public servant o' this country-- Our Prime Minister ---Dr. Manmohan

Singh...............this result is a tribute by the indian electorate to this man and his integirity.......this is the payement of the electorate to this man for his unbending determination through their faith .....which they have put in this man ( mind you not his party nor anyother person).......but only in this calm, quiet, determined,intelligent,diligent,hard working and honest common man. Dr Singh i donot know wether

u have understood this salute or wether anybody else has realise this or have the guts to accept it, but i would like to say this to u sir...................U have a chance, the greatest that life or a country can offer to a man.....to be a leader and make a difference and to deliver your country out of the clutches of these political demons who survive by petty castism, regionalism, religious fundamentalism, without any moral code........................You Mr. Singh are people's choice (choice of every man whose integrity has been held at ransome like yours and who fought for it) to end this evil........i sincerly hope that you will not let it go by. with best wishes.

Being Me

I am a nomad, a wanderer, at a constant war with myself, out in search for an understanding about myself. I am observing, learning and growing with every passing day that I spend living just as a seed grows up into a plant. It's a process which I enjoy at times and at times endure. It's a journey the destination of which I do not know, but I walk along the road doing my bit, enjoying the experience while leaving behind my foot prints on the sands of time.
